what does the united states need to do to be more proactive, if you will, in trying to prevent the next attack, instead of responding to the last attack? >> well, frankly, i think we've got to be a little less naive. the notion that bad guys are going to hide bombs or whatever, easy to view, easy to see on their person, just isn't happening. they're going to put it in their private places, and we've got to be smart enough to say, that's where they're going to put it, we've got to look there. so far we're not doing that. consequently, a lot of those billions of dollars in effort are effectively not being used very well, because they're going after the obvious targets and bad guys are no longer playing with us, in terms of putting stuff in obvious targets. they're using unique, new and different ways, and we do have to stay a step ahead of them. in some ways it's working. the size of the bombs are shrinking. they're no longer bringing guns on board, ever since the '70s when we put the metal detectors in. so we're making progress. we haven't gone 100% of the way. we're moving in the right
